Pennsylvania Sunrise Lyrics by David Mallett

Inches and Miles

0

[Verse 1]
Pennsylvania sunrise, ten degrees at best
Peerin' from the window of a club car headin' west
After mornin' glory, money for the miles
Someone said I'll do this for a while
[Verse 2]
'Cross a wakin' countryside, two days with no sleep
Bridges, towns and tunnels, crossin' rivers wide and deep
Workers risin', big bird flyin', children off to school
Pickup trucks and geniuses and fools
[Verse 3]
Brakemen at the depot bundled to the cold
Monday mornin' paper, and the sky is burnin' gold
Goodbye kisses, painted misses curled up in the back
Runnin' from a memory on a thousand miles of track
[Verse 4]
Folks in old Virginia, they took me to their hearts
And it's a ways to where I'm goin', but it's a long time from the start
And this train it's a gentle giant with an engine and an eye
And I'm a wounded bird returnin' to the sky
[Violin Solo]
[Verse 1]
Pennsylvania sunrise, ten degrees at best
Peerin' from the window of a club car headin' west
After mornin' glory, money for the miles
Someone said I'll do this for a while
